A reminder to local rural-based businesses that two new potential funding schemes are available. The Leader scheme is being run by West Sussex County Council and further details can be found here: https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/news/follow-the-leader-to-rural-business-success

Grants of between £2500 and £50000 are available. General information is available at http://www.businesswestsussex.co.uk/leadergrants

There is also a Digital Connectivity Grant Programme. This will be particularly relevant for small rural industrial estates with very poor broadband speeds. Details are available at http://www.coast2capital.org.uk/helping-business-growth/49-grant-funding/525-digital-connectivity-grant-programme.html
